Spitzer policy granting licenses to illegal immigrants is coming under increased fire
The Buffalo News ^ | Updated: 10/07/07 | By Tom Precious

EXCERPT:

“It’s a perfect formula for al-Qaida. They won’t be able to resist it. They will be able to come to New York,” said John Lehman, a former secretary of the Navy who served on the 9/11 Commission that warned of the nation’s vulnerabilities to terrorist strikes.

Lehman joins a growing number of critics of the new Spitzer policy, including two mayors involved in the recovery of the 9/11 attacks — Rudy Giuliani and Michael R. Bloomberg — and an assortment of law enforcement officials, Republicans and Democrats.

In an interview Saturday with The Buffalo News, Lehman said the state is undermining the many efforts made to improve security in New York City since 2001.

“It is not logical,” he said of the Spitzer policy, adding: “As we know, New York is target number one.”

Spitzer’s plan “is going to make life easier for illegals,” especially terrorists, counterfeiters and others who will have easy access to a valuable piece of identification, Lehman said.

Spitzer's latest statement argues his DICTATE isn't for partisan politics. Does his arrogance have any bounds?

He is a glorified auditor -that's his Attorney General experience. Terrorist don't fear your subpoena little man!

Being overtly pro-illegal is political suicide, Spitzer. Ask John McCain, George Bush, Lindsey Graham, Trent Lott, etc.

QUISLING: a synonym for traitor, someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.



Current federal law 8USC 1373(a) PROHIBITS SANCTUARY CITIES. It reads as follows:

"Notwithstanding any other provision of federal, state, or local law, a federal, state, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual."



U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"


Invasion: \In*va"sion\, n. [L. invasio: cf. F. invasion. See Invade.] [1913 Webster]

1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.

Spitzer is a clinically insane thug. For years, he has threatened everybody in sight with vile, hate filled diatribes of "I'll destroy you," if you question his endless misbehavior.

Fresh from a (partial) whitewash of his criminal misuse of the state police to harass Republicans, he is instantly back at his ususal demeanor, viciously denouncing anyone who opposes his illegal dictatorial usurption with hateful language.

Spitzer is a grade A paranoid narcissist psychopath. NY's answer to Hugo Chavez. Plus, he is just plain creepy.

I just heard a soundbite with him referring to the “rabid right”. This Mussolini has to go. Yet virtually no voices raised in outrage. I hear just one guy on a local radio station in Albany NY trying to get the word out. Two weeks now, non stop 9am-noon. I don’t mean to plug him but if you are concerned with this issue, he’s the best source of accurate info. It’s at WGY

It’s laughable how it has, what have they said? 45% support by admitted Democraps -I think.

Well....let’s put that in perspective:

35% of Democraps NATIONWIDE pole as believing G.W. Bush knew about 9/11, and there are allot more of those crazies in NY than the nationwide average. The Kool Aid (Lib) crowd.

Now, the Dem Kool Aid drinkers are thick here in NY and Spitzer ONLY has 45% support among NY Democrats??? He doesn’t even have popular support among most liberal dems in the country! What does that say.

Again....let’s put that in perspective:

If Spitzer said, Tomorrow, he was going to lay down on his legal pad and fly to the Moon, than at least 25% of Democraps would show up to see it. The majority of his support is among the absolute IDEALOGS.

Are they able to recall the governor in NY? Seems like Spitzer would be a good candidate for that.

This first class fruit loop wants to give convicted illegal alien felons drivers licenses then insults those who don’t think that’s a very good idea. I’ve seen plenty of crooked politicians and this one is not only that but nuts too. Arizona impeached Evan Mecham for criminality and now it’s New York’s turn.

I saw a show on TV where on county MV manager say he will refuse to give illegals licenses. I wonder how long he will keep his job. I think it was Glen Beck’s show.

It's amazing but democrats are criticizing him everywhere. Apparently they see him as being poison for their party.

Lou Dobbs spent half his show last night vilifying Spitzer, and calling him every name in the book, including “idiot”, “moron” and even using the word “treasonous”. Dobbs had the “rebel” county clerk on and really amped up the spotlight on Spitzer. Great TV.

It was the Rensselaer County Clerk, and Spitzer can't fire him. He said none of his employees are on the NYS payroll and none of them will issue a DL to an illegal.

Is there anything these politicos won’t do to suck up to illegals? I mean, they’re not lawfully in the country, for Pete’s sake.
